BRAC 2005 Infrastructure Executive Council (IEC) Meeting Minutes of December 21,2004
The Deputy Secretary of Defense chaired this meeting. The list of attendees is attached.
The Deputy Secretary opened the meeting by asking Mr. Wynne, Under Secretary of Defense (AT&L), to begin the discussion. Mr. Wynne then used the attached slides to guide the discussion, highlighting where the Joint Cross-Service Groups (JCSGs) are in the process and how the timeline is progressing. He noted that December 20,2004, was the deadline for the JCSGs to submit but all groups were finalizing their candidate recommendations. Mr. Wynne also stated that the Military Departments' deadline to submit candidate recommendations to the ISG and IEC is January 20,2005. When discussing the timeline, it was agreed that the briefing at the next IEC meeting should include a slide on the process milestones beyond May 2005.
Mr. Wynne then briefed the role of the IEC and briefly described a variety of measures such as Plant Replacement Value, square footage, buildings, and position reductions, which might be used to quantify the results of BRAC costs and savings. There was further discussion on these and other bases for metrics, such as payback, however no consensus was reached.
Mr. Wynne then reviewed the recent briefs that have been made to the Combatant Commanders (COCOMs) since October 2004 and reminded the IEC that, per the Secretary's instructions, OSD has taken actions to ensure the COCOM input is integrated into the process. Their respective feedback to the BRAC briefings was also provided to the Deputy Secretary.
Mr. Wynne presented the status of developing an update to the Force Structure Plan (FSP). Members expressed particular interest in ensuring that force structure decisions being made now must be captured in the updated FSP.
Regarding Homeland Defense, Mr. Wynne briefed that Criterion 2 of the Selection Criteria requires the Department to consider Homeland Defense missions. The Department would use existing Homeland Defense documents to determine the infrastructure necessary to support those missions. The Secretary of the Navy asked whether we should also consider coordinating with the Department of Homeland Security.
Mr. Wynne next discussed the process by which the IEC will consider and resolve conflicts, indicating that only conflicts that cannot be resolved at the ISG will be forwarded to the IEC for consideration and resolution. Additionally, if a Military

Department disagrees with an ISG decision on any issue, it can appeal that decision to the IEC.
Mr. Wynne concluded the briefing by reviewing next steps. He suggested that the "Red Team," which has been created for quality control purposes, might be invited to brief the IEC on their conclusions after reviewing the candidate recommendations.
The Deputy Secretary ended the meeting by emphasizing the importance of being bold with recommendations and he encouraged members to take advantage of this singular opportunity to rationalize DoD's infrastructure.

BRAC Force Structure Plan (FSP)BRAC Statute requires the Department to develop a Force Structure Plan based on:• An assessment of the probable threats during the 20-year period
beginning with FY05• Probable end-strength levels and major military force units needed
to meet these threats• Anticipated levels of funding during this period
All BRAC recommendations must be based on the FSP and Selection Criteria
Department submitted FSP to Congress in Mar 04
Update, if necessary, must be provided to Congress NLT March 15, 2004
11Deliberative Document –For Discussion Purposes Only –Do Not Release Under FOIA
Force Structure Plan Update Status
Force Structure Plan is the foundation of all BRAC recommendations
Significant flux/TBDs that may not be resolved in time for consideration within BRAC• Air Force Squadrons• Ballistic Missiles and Missile Fields
Timing critical, otherwise BRAC must proceed without benefit of those decisions
12Deliberative Document –For Discussion Purposes Only –Do Not Release Under FOIA
Homeland DefenseCriterion Two requires consideration of Homeland DefenseThree Major elements• Homeland defense: defense against direct attacks to the United States, including
in the air and maritime approaches• Civil Support: DoD support requested by lead federal agencies and approved by
the Secretary of Defense• Enabling activities: DoD efforts to improve national and coalition capabilities
for homeland security, to include sharing expertise, technology, and training
Mission proponents• ASD (HD)• CMDR NORTHCOM/CMDR PACOM
Approach –• Use existing documents to determine necessary infrastructure
DoD Strategy for Homeland Defense and Civil Support (Coordination Draft)• Consult with ASD(HD) and NORTHCOM & PACOM (through JCS J8)
13Deliberative Document –For Discussion Purposes Only –Do Not Release Under FOIA
Statutory Surge Requirements
Section 2822 of FY 04 NDAA• “assess the probable threats to national security and, as
part of such assessment, determine the potential, prudent, surge requirements to meet those threats.”
• The Secretary “shall use the surge requirements determination …. in the base realignment and closure process”
Section 2832 of FY05 NDAA • Modified the previously published BRAC selection
criteria to add “surge” to criterion three
14Deliberative Document –For Discussion Purposes Only –Do Not Release Under FOIA
Satisfying the Statutory Requirements
Determine surge “capabilities” needed to support the Force Structure PlanAssess capacity available to surge (Capacity Analysis)
Value the capability to accommodate surge (Military Value Analysis)
Assess surge during scenario analysis and retain difficult to reconstitute assets
Verify consideration of surge• JCSGs & MilDeps will report on how they determined surge
capabilities and captured surge in their candidate recommendation package
15Deliberative Document –For Discussion Purposes Only –Do Not Release Under FOIA
Conflict Review
A transformational BRAC will provide options on the table that challenge some long-held assumptions
Competing views centered on Military Value
Infrastructure Executive Council (IEC) is central to conflict resolution process
16Deliberative Document –For Discussion Purposes Only –Do Not Release Under FOIA
Potential Conflicts
Doctrinal – changing Service institutional approaches
Force Structure – one entity empties; one fills
Facilities – two entities vying for same asset
Culture – changing longstanding beliefs
Statutory – e.g., 50/50 Pubic-Private Depot workload
Others – e.g., Service vs JCSG authority
17Deliberative Document –For Discussion Purposes Only –Do Not Release Under FOIA
Emerging Conflicts
Doctrinal: JCSG recommendations may optimize DoD at the expense of one Service
• Candidate recommendations mayAlter Service training doctrineCombine Service entities into a single DoD entityMake one Service the customer of another entity
Facilities: 2 candidate recommendations may compete for limited capacity
